Q:
Please show me example sentences with writing on the wall.
A:
Hello,
This is a phrase not often used. I'm a native speaker but I had to look it up to make sure it meant what I thought it did. I can't recall using it more than once in my life-time.
As you probably know, it means that the outcome of something isn't going to turn out well.
I guess if I bought a car that looked bad the sentence would be: 'I should've seen the writing on the wall when I bought that car'.
Or 'my friends told me he wasn't a good guy but I didn't see the writing on the wall' - you didn't see what was obvious, that the guy wasn't going to be a good boyfriend/friend.
I hope that helps a bit :)

Q:
What is the difference between I love your beautiful writing and I love your beautiful writings ?
A:
The first sentence means that you love someone's writing in general. The second sentence sounds like it is referring to specific things that the person has written.
Q:
What is the difference between writing and composition and essay ?
A:
All three words would technically be correct in those sentences, though they all have different connotations and more specific definitions.
In most cases, an essay would refer to a short piece of writing on a particular subject, such as an essay a student must write for school, or an article on a newspaper or website.
A writing is a very vague and general word that can refer to any formation of words or even just sentences. A more formal expression would be “a written work” as opposed to “writing.” In the case of your example, while it certainly would be correct, I just say “Could you please correct this for me” considering the writing that “this” refers to is about to be seen by your listener/reader, so it is very understood and therefore redundant to use a vague and general term.
The word composition can have many different connotations to it, such as in a school setting where a teacher requires compositions on something in particular as homework for their students. This use might work for your sentences since the thing you are writing is probably just for English practice and not meant to actually make a point, evoke a feeling, or tell a story, and that makes perfect sense with “composition.”
Keep In mind that a composition can also refer specifically to a musical piece, or a song. For example: “Mozart’s classical compositions are so soothing to my ears.”
To make things simple, I would personally say to use a word that specifically describes the type of writing you are talking about.
If it’s a letter, say “Will you correct my letter?”
If it’s writing practice, say “Will you correct these practice sentences I wrote.”
If it’s a story, you could say something like “Would you correct my story’s grammar?”

Q:
What is the difference between writing down and jotting down ?
A:
They both mean basically the same thing, except 'jotting down' is usually for writing something quickly or only writing a few words, while 'writing down' is also used for longer pieces.
Example: I need to jot down a quick note to myself.
Example: Keeping a journal means writing down the details of your day.
Example: I need to jot down a quick note to myself.
Example: Keeping a journal means writing down the details of your day.

Q:
Could you help to correct my writing?
When I was at university, I learned several languages: English, French, Russian, Arabic, German, and Greek. After graduating, I got a job at the city hall of Otaru City. I want to use my skills to serve the citizens. However, there is no specific section in Otaru City Hall that handles consultations for foreigners. Sometimes I answer phone calls from English speakers or assist foreigners at the counter. The words used in the city hall are difficult for them to understand. A few days ago, I was asked to help by the Citizen Tax Section. A foreigner was requesting a certificate of income and taxation, but the city hall staff could not understand his English. When issuing the certificate, we need to confirm the year. The staff did not know how to ask him which year he needed. That is why I started an English study program in the City Hall. Every Wednesday, we practice dictation and recitation of a few sentences. I hope this practice will be helpful for the city hall staff.

Topic
Some people say that young people should spend more time thinking about their future carriers.
Do you agree with this opinion?
・I agree with this opinion that young people should spend more time thinking about their future careers.
I have two reasons why I think so.
First, being able to study the knowledge of skills such as foreign language and communication from a young. If people become an adult, they can use skills better than people of around in company.
Second, if people learn about their careers when they are young, their income are getting better. it is important to get the carrier because more people look the studie’s history in future
For these reasons, I strongly agree with this opinion that young people should spend more time thinking about their future careers.

Topic:
Some people say that young people should spend more time thinking about their future careers. Do you agree with this opinion?
I agree with this opinion that young people should spend more time thinking about their future careers. I have two reasons why I think so:
Firstly, being able to study the knowledge of skills such as foreign language and communication from a young age. If people become an adult, they can use their skills better than other people in the company.
Second, if people learn about their careers when they are young, their income will become substantially better. It is important to obtain a career because more people look to study history in the future.
For these reasons, I strongly agree with the opinion that young people should spend more time thinking about their future careers.
Final note:
Firstly, I wish to congratulate you for learning English. It is not easy by any means, but I am grateful and happy to see that you have taken an interest in my native language. Thank you. 😊 To help, I will do best!
To help you be technical with the writing end of it, I noticed a couple of small things. One being that not all of the sentences started with a capital letter, which it always does. The other was that some sentences were left incomplete or made no sense, such as 'It is important to get the carrier because more people look the studie's history in future'.
Apart from this, I tell you this to encourage you rather than discourage you from continuing onward in your language journey. You are doing great, I promise!
Have a good day!
